  • Came back from my walk tonight around an hour ago – 20km walk in total, my legs and feet are sore but I feel good knowing that I set a goal and achieved it. I’m a bit stiff in the legs but a good night sleep will allow me to recuperate and ready to work…

  • Finished the first season of Paradise and funny if there appears to be a good amount of overlap that I see with Silo and Fallout along with a few other dystopian films I’ve watched in the past.

  • Went and had brunch at the local cafe with the family – eggs bene with extra poached eggs along with a bowel of mochaccino. After enjoying that nice start to the day I popped down to the mall to get my drivers licence redone however I find it difficult to use those eye testing gizmos…

  • I had work today which wasn’t so bad – the morning was quiet but in the evening it started to get a bit busy but it’ll be interesting to see whether it is busy tomorrow with the Matariki public holiday result in a quiet day because families are going away to take advantage of the…
